Trails Weekend 2024

Friday September 27 – Sunday September 29, 2024

One of the on-going camp projects involving current staff and Alumni is the maintenance of the Haliburton Scout Reserve hiking trail system. The work to be done will depend on the number of volunteers who attend, the condition of the trails and whether there are any “special” projects required on the trails or at the camp on that particular weekend.

Trails Weekend typically offers some spectacular fall colours with the chance for current and former staff of all ages to work and socialize together. Meals and accommodations in HSR cabins are provided to volunteers.

Here’s what you need to do:

Registration:

· Register via email to warnerclarke@hotmail.com by September 24, 2024 (Important for planning the work and getting food).

· If you are registering on behalf of a group, please provide the names of those who will attend.

· For each person, please identify whether they are staff (2024 camp staff) or Alumni

Considerations:

· Plan to arrive Friday evening or very early Saturday morning. We will be planning and assigning the work crews at breakfast on Saturday.

· Come prepared for the weather, both for outdoor work and for evenings/overnight.

· Be prepared to have a great weekend!
